Goose is an open source AI agent for the command line. Give it a task in plain English and it plans the steps, then reads and writes files and runs shell commands until the job is done, using the LLM provider you configure. This Ubuntu 24.04 image gives you a private agent workstation reachable through Session Manager, with no inbound ports.
Goose is an AI agent that works from your terminal. Instead of only suggesting code, it acts: you describe a task such as 'add input validation to this service and run the tests', and Goose uses its built-in developer tools to explore the project, edit files and run commands, checking results as it goes until the task is complete.
Agents that can run commands are best kept away from your personal workstation. This image gives developers a dedicated instance in their own account where Goose can work freely on the repositories you bring, with nothing exposed to the network.
What is included: the Goose command-line agent at /usr/local/bin/goose with its built-in developer extension, ready for the LLM provider sessions you configure, plus a guide at /opt/sushi/docs/README.md. Goose opens no inbound listener, no messaging gateway is enabled and no provider credentials are included.
Getting started takes a few minutes: launch t3.medium (2 vCPU, 4 GiB RAM) with a 16 GiB or larger encrypted gp3 root volume and IMDSv2, attach an instance profile with AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore, allow outbound HTTPS and keep inbound rules closed. Connect with Session Manager and run sudo -iu ubuntu bash /opt/sushi/docs/demo.sh; Goose completes a real file-writing task against a local test model, so no paid model calls are made. Then configure your own provider credentials privately and run your first task, for example goose run --text "" --with-builtin developer. The linked Goose quickstart covers provider setup.
Pricing: a software fee of USD 0.02 per running t3.medium instance-hour. An optional five-day free trial for one concurrent instance changes software billing only and then converts to the hourly fee; the same full software is installed before and after it. This is not a separate trial or evaluation edition, and there is no product-imposed time, user or usage limit. Additional concurrent instances incur software fees. EC2, EBS, data transfer and any model-provider charges are billed separately, including during the free trial.
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for independent AWS packaging, validation, maintenance and setup documentation. Goose is published by AAIF / Block under the Apache-2.0 license; Software Sushi provides the image, setup guide and packaging support and does not claim upstream endorsement. Workspace and session data stay on the root volume; back them up before replacing an instance, because a new image version does not migrate sessions or credentials.

This listing has one pricing dimension. You pay an hourly software fee for each running t3.medium instance. The product delivers a command-line AI agent as a preconfigured machine image that runs on Amazon EC2 in your own account. Billing scales with how many hours each instance runs. An optional five-day free trial covers the software fee for one instance, then converts to hourly billing. EC2, EBS, data transfer, and your chosen model provider's charges are billed separately, including during the trial.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What hardware specification does the t3.medium hourly rate cover?
The t3.medium instance provides 2 vCPUs and 4 GiB of RAM. The vendor recommends pairing it with at least a 16 GiB encrypted gp3 root volume. The hourly software fee applies to this instance size running the command-line AI agent.
Am I charged the hourly software fee when the instance is stopped?
The software fee applies for each running instance, so it accrues per hour while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the software fee. EC2, EBS storage, and data transfer are billed separately by AWS and may still apply to stopped instances.
What costs are not covered by the hourly software fee?
The hourly fee covers only the packaged software. You pay separately for EC2 compute, EBS storage, and data transfer through AWS. Your chosen model provider also charges for its own usage. No model, credits, or provider keys are included; you bring your own.
